Ok mate nice and simple this one
Your bushes have worn
Projump do a bush repair kit with all the bits you need in it
Not sure if you need one kit per stilt or what as I only saw the prototype kit so give them a shout
I tend to glue my bushes in as this makes them last longer also use a silicon lubricant on them to reduce wear
Have a look at the tutorial BitLord83 has done here
http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7280.0
And the one for the older stilts by gillybert here

Before you order anything though take the bolt out of the top joint and have a look to see if they have worn just in case something else is causing it
A lot of people just keep using them when they are worn but I think they feel better when all the joints are nice and taught

hahhha thanks Jason....
so your telling me that if i dont fix it, its still safe? cause i might buy a repair kit but if i dont its still safe to use?
andi know this may seem stupid and i am slightly new to the website but can you send me a link to where i can buy one? thanks a lot :D

HAHA, you think that's wobbly?!
I should post mine up or maybe we should have a wobbly contest.
I think it is safe, I cant see it causing any structural damage and I still flip in mine.
It is a good idea to replace them though, as Jason has said. I've not done mine because I'm buying new stilts for spring.

Normally bushes give you pleanty of warning before they do something nasty mate
But if you are asking me if they are safe :Claugh:
You are balancing on a pair of stilts while jumping anything up to nearly 3mts in the air (sometimes upside down)
What part of dangerous don't you understand :Claugh:
If you want safe take up knitting with blunt needles :Cbiggrin:
You should be ok with wobbly bushes though Steddy just don't quote me on it :Claugh:
